Congressional Candidate Omar Navarro Arrested For Violating Restraining Order

Republican congressional candidate Omar Navarro, who is running against incumbent Democrat Maxine Waters, was arrested and booked Saturday in San Francisco. According to the San Francisco Sheriff Department website, Navarro was arrested for stalking, making criminal threats, violating a domestic relations court order, and attempted extortion. The charges range from a misdemeanor to felonies. He was released on bail Sunday morning for $75,000.

Navarro, who was a GOP activist in the South Bay, tried to unseat incumbent Rep. Maxine Waters, in 2018. In September 2016, the then 28-year old pled guilty and was convicted of a misdemeanor for placing an electronic device onto his wife’s car. The sentence was one day in jail and 18 months probation. In addition Omar was ordered to take anger management courses according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

In 2014, Navarro ran for Torrance City Council and only received .95 percent of the votes.

1. Hope he's wearing an ankle monitor.

He sounds awfully dangerous to release on bail.

3. I hope he's wearing orange. He's escalating and needs serious controlling.

4. agree. this is repeat offender behavior

and LE (and especially the courts) need to take this seriously. Too many times people shrug their shoulders with, "well, they haven't actually hurt anybody .." Not yet! But they HAVE already demonstrated a disregard for others rights and safety .. and that's a small step away from dangerous. Repeat offenses need to be dealt with seriously .. and if necessary harshly.

2. Hahahaha

This is the same guy who got destroyed by Maxine Waters the last time around.

He shows up in every trump thread or Maxine thread asking for contributions to run again because he "will beat her".
